"Everyone sets out in five minutes."
...
"Swoosh——"
The searchlight pierced through the rain, the carriage door opened, and an off-road vehicle rushed out, splashing a ring of rainwater.
Three fire trucks and an SUV followed closely behind.
In the murky rainwater, the convoy advanced into the distance.
The armory wasn’t built next to the tracks but in a military building ten kilometers away.
It wasn’t on the map, but the surrounding structures hadn’t changed much in four years, allowing for some navigation based on memory.
The armory’s security was very high, consisting of two levels: the first was electronic safes, and the second was the physical security of blast doors.
The former was easy, he could just handle it personally to disable it.
The trouble was the blast doors themselves; there were no keys.
It was unclear whether the fire truck tools could forcibly cut through.
In the off-road vehicle, Su Huan bit his finger joints, the faint stinging in his palm always distracting his thoughts.
His little actions were completely caught by Yu Yue in the back seat, her fingers tangled, eyebrows knit.
Acid rain exposure could lead to infection and inflammation of wounds, possibly worsening to amputation.
Should she remind him?
Two small Yu Yues argued in her mind.
’He humiliated you, yet you’re concerned about him, shameful!’
’But he saved me today...’
’You’re just singing on his lap, shameless!’
’I didn’t.’
’He was merely protecting his toy!’
’I’m not...’
——
"How about bandaging it? The acid rain will inflame the wound."
Yu Yue finally couldn’t help but speak up from the back seat.
Her voice was flat, without much emotional fluctuation.
’It’s out of professional ethics, not concern for him, right, that’s it!’ she emphasized inwardly.
Su Huan glanced at his palm; it was just missing some flesh, something not even considered an injury in his past life. With his physique, it’d heal in two or three days. However, being cared for by a woman was quite enjoyable.
"Don’t worry about such trivial matters, focus on silence!"
As his voice dropped, a bolt of lightning suddenly extended in front of the vehicle.
It raced through the rain, striking a blocking zombie.
The high voltage instantly fried its numbed brain and then was crushed beneath the off-road vehicle.
Under Yu Yue’s ability and the acid rain cover, no sound was made.
Due to the scarcity of vehicles in the suburbs, the convoy encountered almost no obstacles and arrived before a large courtyard.
The three-meter high red-brick wall was washed into a murky liver-brown color by the acid rain.
The off-road vehicle did not slow at all, rushing directly at the metal gate.
Driving one of the fire trucks, Lu Xiao recognized the courtyard, but was left with more questions.
How was Su Huan sure this military unit had what they needed?
